So I tried to look at a lot of the art that was done of John Walker to sort of inform body language. ![]() It’s like, if the actor is ahead of the audience that way, you’re not with me.

Gizmodo: So do you put that into the performance at all? Do you, like, sit and watch the Marvel movies in character as John Walker and imagine what he would think about? Or do you go your own way? It’s someone who’s trying to be someone that he may not be and we’re at the beginning of his journey as Captain America and have to see where it goes from there. It’s just the way he’s going about doing it isn’t necessarily that of someone we’ve seen before as an Avenger or as someone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe who’s trying to fight good. He wants to be someone who can help people. Other than that, I think he wanted to be someone who could help people. I guess my first idea would be like, “Where the hell were you when I needed you?

That means he’s witnessed the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe firsthand and realises what the mantle of Captain America means. Walker, a highly decorated war vet, was at West Point when Steve Rogers re-emerged into public life. ![]() 2 (along with, you know, some of the greatest action roles in the history of cinema). Also, in case the strong chin and infectious laugh didn’t give it away, he’s the son of living Hollywood legends Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, the latter of whom played Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Russell is best known for roles on Lodge 49, Black Mirror, and Overlord. Gizmodo had a chance to speak with Wyatt Russell, the actor behind the mask, and discuss his great venture into the MCU. ![]() He may be the Internet’s meme du jour, but John Walker is no joke - he’s the new Captain America in Marvel’s The Falcon and t he Winter Soldier and he’s fascinating.
